Default Borla or Flowmaster? Help!

Hey guys so I've had my 07 Mustang V6 for about a month now and it's still bone stock. Despite the harsh things that are said about V6 ponys, I love it.
Anyway, I'm looking to put an exhaust on it that will give it a really throaty and intimidating sound.
I've narrowed it down to two choices, hopefully the choices I picked are good.

Here's the first one:
Borla Axle-Back Stainless Steel Exhaust - For 05-08 Mustang V6

and the Second:
Flowmaster American Thunder - 2005 - 2007 Ford Mustang V6

Hopefully you can help me out here with the right choice and give me pointers on which one to or not to buy.
Thanks a lot!

[Edit]
Also, please leave any tips for me on what else I can do to my Mustang to get it out of the stock category.

Actually the exahust systems for the new Sn-197s are a little different than our Sn-95s, and will carry a different tone and pitch due to the new muffler placement behind the axel instead of infront.

Now I have no idea which one will sound better on a new stang, but I can gurantee Borla will out live Flowmaster by a lot, and I mean a lot as it's much much better on quality. Another thing, DO NOT get a V6 cat back system, you should get a GT catback system, and find a site that sells V6 mid pipes or have a shop custom fab one, those systems bolt up to your stock y pipe and sound like crap and are not really dual exhaust systems. Search the forums and you can learn more on this topic and which mid pipe will be best for you.

I just installed a Flowmaster (Single Exhaust) on my 2007 V6 and it really sounds awesome!. Go to YouTube and listen to some sound clips, it will give you a little better idea of what your exhaust will sound like.

Borla isnt as durable as flowmaster, I would go with Flow
